SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No."35l,892, dated November 2, 1886.

I Application led March 7, 1884 vSerial No. 123,426. (No model.)

To LZZ whom it may concern:`

` Be it known that I, CHARLES F. WHORE, of

St. Louis, Missouri, have made a .new and useful Improvement in Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part `of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation, half in vertical section, of the improved stove; Fig. 2, a plan, a portion of the top plate being broken away to exhibit the interior; and Fig. 3, a ver` tical section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.'

The same letters of reference denote the same parts.

The present invention is an improvement more especially in what are termed gas7 or gasoline stoves.V The improvement relates to the construction ofthe oven, to the heat` ing arrangement at each side of the oven, and to the combination of the various parts, all substantially as hereinafter described, and designated in the Claims.

A, Fig. 1, represents the stove in question. Considered generally, the stove consists ofan oven and heating arrangement at each side of the oven, the topof the oven being ush, or thereabout, with rthe tops of the heating arrangements at the sides of the oven, the oven being heated by its own burner, and being mounted upon a base which serves to support the entire superstructure, and also is prefer;` ably made to contain a hot-closet.

B represents the oven. 1

G represents the burner for heating the oven. The heat-currents from the burner enter t-he line-space D beneath the oven. They pass thence into the iluefE at the rear end of the oven. They flow upward through the last-` named iiue intoithe space F above the oven. The currents thence pass downward into the i oven to the lower part thereof, and from the oven the heat-currents pass outward, partly through the openings'b b at Veach side of the oven, and partly into a iiue, g, formed in the oven-door G. The heat which escapes through the openings b b passes directly into the open air, and that portion which passes into the iueg escapes therefrom through the outlets 5o` g', alias indicated by the various arrows in the upper portion of Figs. 1, 3. Access is had to the interior of the oven by opening the door G. In this manner the heat is applied to the bottom, to the rear end, to the top and interior ofthe oven, and to the front of the oven, and the sides of the oven are somewhat heated by reason ofthe presence of the burners H H at each side of the oven. The stovetop l is extended laterally at I I', which extensions, in connection with the burners H H, 60

form the heating arrangements above alluded to as being at each side of the oven. Thel central portion, I, of the stove-top is heated by means of the heat passing into the space F at the top of the oven. In this manner the capacity of a gas-stove is considerably increased, and at the same time ample table-room is providedat the top of the stove. The burners C H H areof the ordinary character, and are supplied by means of the tubes c h h in the or- 7o dinary manner. The burner C, for heating the oven, may be left open to the surrounding air; but I prefer to utilize the heat,which otherwise might be wasted therefrom, for heating a hot-closet,'J,` which is made to occupy the 75 principal portion of the space beneath the oven and above the base K. The air for suppl ying the burnerC enters in such case through any suitable apertures, c c', in the bottom of the hot-closet, or it may be supplied thereto 8o in any other suitable manner.

The top b of the oven in the drawings has but asingle perforation, b2; but, if desired, the top of the oven may have several perforations, or be constructed in any other manner so as 85. to enable the heat from the rear iiue, E, to en ter and pass downward uniformly into the oven.

In presenting this application I wish to disclaim the construction patented to me Febru- 9o ary 6, 1883, and numbered 271,670. In that oven the heat-currents pass from beneath the oven, upward at the sides of the oven, thence downward through the interior of the oven to the bottom of the oven, and finally upward at the back of the oven. In the present oven the heatcurrents pass from beneath the oven upward at the back ofthe oven, thence downward through the interior of the oven, and thence outward from theinterior of the oven at or roo. near the bottom of the oven.

I am also aware that a steam cooking appliance has been used in which steam-jaeketed utensils have been supported at the sides of a central oven; but the supports for such utensils are in no sense extensions of the oven-top, nor is the oven-top adapted fora table-top, nor can it be used in conjunction with the utensil-supports for heating or for upholding a cooking utensil.

I claim- 1. The oven B, having the flues D E F g and the outlets b b, as and for the purposes described.

2. A gasoline or gas stove having the central oven, B, and the side extensions, l 1, and the burners C H H, said side extensions being CHARLES F. WHORF.
